Nice set up and video, Craig. Were those coral grown under those LEDS or recently placed there??

Everything started from frags (I'm cheap like that) in that 30 gallon under those lights then moved to the 125 under more of those lights when I upgraded

Nothing but good things growth and color wise
The 30 gallon had only blue and white LEDs but when I added the other heatsinks for the 125 I changed them all to have full spectrum (UV red green blue and white )


The tank has been set up 8months from the bottom pic to the top one

And here is one heatsink over my 30 gallon



Really happy with the growth and easy to set up and around 1000$ from start to finish for 3 heatsinks with controller and dimmable for a 125g tank with the same if not more par than radians just less control
tank looks amazing craig buddy , is the disco affect that noticable in person? i think that would drive me nuts lol

Is that a fish tank or a tanning bed?

UV red blue and green are all on same string and drivers set to 650mw so about as far as the uv red and green can handle but only 1/3 of how high the blues could really go

Whites are set at 750mw but they are ramped to 40% and that's enough light any more and I can see the bottom corals not liking it and the color gets closer to 10-12k than the 14k-15k I like

If I were to do it again I would have 3 strings

red uv green
Blue
White
for even more control

But with basicly it at 50% of how powerful it could go I'm getting solid growth right to the sand bed
